ABSTRACT

When should safety professionals prepare for an OSHA inspection — how about yesterday! It is imperative that a safety professional begin to prepare for an OSHA inspection the day he or she starts the job and work with the management team and employees to achieve and maintain compliance with the OSHA standards. Additionally, the safety professionals should discuss the company philosophy and strategies for handling an OSHA inspection with the management team and legal counsel in order that the company or organization’s rights are protected before, during, and after the inspection.
